Beautiful Lisbon Trams

Posted By Memographer, On September 9, 2018

Even though there are new tram tracks in Atlanta (the “Downtown Loop”), I really miss the look of classic rail vehicles and sound of tramways. While in Lisbon, I tried not to miss any opportunity to photo-hunt beautiful Lisbon Trams [smile].

***Just FYI,

The first tramway in Lisbon entered service 145 years ago (on 17 November 1873), as a horsecar line.

On 30 August 1901, Lisbon’s first electric tramway commenced operations. Within a year, all of the city’s tramways had been converted to electric traction.

In 1959, the network of lines reached its greatest extent of total 27 tram lines in Lisbon, all of them running on 900 mm (2 ft 11 7⁄16 in) narrow gauge tram lines. It presently comprises six urban lines.
